Pros
Nice looking great price over sized handle. Good reel for the price for smaller species but is advertized for fish up to 50lb. Not a chance.
Cons
Drag was completly wrenched tight and 15lb salmon burned line at will. Had to palm reel the entire time. I only tightened the drag all the way after several fish took a 100' of running line with the drag at 3/4 tight.
